Dental Fillings for Baby Teeth

If your child has a cavity, you might be wondering why fillings are necessary if baby teeth are only temporary. One reason is that it takes time for permanent teeth to come in. If your child loses a baby tooth too soon, crowding or another issue might arise. Plus, cavities just aren’t comfortable. They can cause toothaches and even infection, which would require more extensive work later.

At Smileville Family Dental in Alexandria and Sterling VA, we offer a full range of dental care for all ages with Board Certified Pediatric Dentist Dr. Dadkhah, General and Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Sharafi, and Board Certified Periodontist Dr. Lin.
